The next meeting will be swapped for an opportunity to support an exciting event on Saturday, September 11, 2010 (our normal meeting date).
The event is a helicopter air show and will be held on Brown Industrial Pkwy in Canton.
Information about the event can be found in this FLYER


We really need to have a full team available for participation, please contact Jim, WB4NWS @ cherokee-ares.org and let him know of your interest for the September 11th event. Charge your HT batteries (bring a spare) and be prepared for a full day of fun.


The August Newsletter is published and available.

IMPORTANT:

The upcoming SET (Simulated Emergency Test) for October 2010 is planned for 3 states, GA, FL, AL, and a simulated hurricane with landfall at Pensacola and tracking. Please see the document sent by WB4NWS and read carefully as this has built in failures at various places and Cherokee ARES needs to be fully prepared.
We have some planning to do and now is the time to get ready for October. We need your attendance at this meeting.

The T-shirts are in for those that ordered and have not picked them up. They are $7.
